Roadtec will be introducing two brand-new products and a new generation Shuttle Buggy material transfer vehicle at ConExpo. Moreover, Roadtec will be rolling out and demonstrating its remote machine monitoring/diagnostic software.

The new products are the SX-5 mid-size stabilizer/reclaimer and the FM-85 heavy-duty, front-mounted broom.

The new Roadtec SX-5 stabilizer features a 540 hp (403 kW) Cat C15 engine. The SX-5 comes with a 96 in. (244 cm) wide drum and weighs in at less than 60,000 lbs. (27,200 kg). The stabilizer/reclaimer is capable of a true cutting depth of 18 in. (46 cm). Water and emulsion systems, enclosed operator cab and many other options are available.

The new Roadtec FM-85 broom is a heavy-duty piece of machinery featuring an 83 hp (61 kW) Cat 3.4T engine. It weighs in at 6,000 lbs. (2,720 kg). A brush head allows the brush to side-shift up to 15 in. (38 cm). Due to an innovative telescoping feature, the unit can accommodate broom lengths of 6, 7 and 8 ft. (183, 213 and 244 cm). The operator station is located in a climate-controlled, robust cab.

The new generation E-series Shuttle Buggy material transfer vehicle has enhanced conveyor wear resistance, which will lower contractors’ operating costs. A new adjustable width front hopper allows the E-series to work with trucks of widths commonly used in countries outside the United States. The dual operator stations of the machine have been enhanced and can now slide sideways past the outer edge of the main frame, which improves visibility, according to the manufacturer.

The machine monitoring/diagnostic software will be shown in the booth. Visitors will be able to see the data provided by the system on a computer screen mounted on a demo kiosk and also the actual machine from where the data is being pulled.

Roadtec is an Astec Industries company and will be exhibiting virtually its entire product line together with the other Astec companies in Central Hall, booth number C5133.
